About Muktinath



Annapurna Conservation Area is the largest (7629 sq. km) protected area of Nepal where Muktinath is situated. Muktinath is a sacred temple of Hindus; most of them wish to visit to this temple once in their life time. Thousands of devotees from Nepal and India visit this site every year. Apart from religious tour, the unique biodiversity, the scenic grandeur in combination with the multi-cultural and multi-ethnic diversity make it the world’s most popular trekking destinations. Muktinath tour used to be one of the strenuous trekking destinations at before because one has to walk from the Pokhara since there were no vehicles and flight was very uncertain. But now it is more recognized as a tour site rather than trekking due to easy accessibility of the road transport and regular flight. One can easily board the flight or take bus from Pokhara to reach Jomsom (2720 m) and Muktinath. However, by bus journey would be quite tiresome due to drive in bumpy road for more than 12 hours.
